Obligatory First Post

Every blog has to start with the
dreaded introductory post, so why not continue the tradition? Let us introduce ourselves – we are the
creators of the annual horror comic magazine Schattenspiele, namely three frustrated artists who enjoy
horror in all its forms, from old-school B-movies in all their cheesy
glory to classics like Lovecraft and Poe. We have decided to unite our love for art and thinking up stories, and
thus the anthology was born. The first
and by far only issue has been printed in October 2011, but our aspiration is
to unsettle innocent people every single year.
This blog will be a sort of a
compiled art album for us all, we will post comics as well as WIPs, short
stories, maybe tutorials and all other possible offsprings of our blooming
fantasy. We work in very different
styles and genres, here are a few examples of our work:

We’ve probably forgotten to
introduce the most important member of our small group – the grand and
wonderful Hieronymus Vogel, our muse, guardian angel, main source of
inspiration, you name it. Such a shame! Here, we couldn’t rob you of a chance
to behold him in all his majesty:

We hope
that you will enjoy our art and maybe even participate! Yes – that’s right, we
are looking for artists willing to submit their stories for the anthology(and
get their share of the profit, of course, even though we won´t get rich). You
can contact us via email: schattenspiele@yandex.ru or Facebook.
